A pergola with Grecian style columns has been erected on this large, horse-drawn float. Children dressed in white clothing are sitting on the float. Vines have been wrapped around the columns and roof of the pergola. Women are walking beside the float carrying vines and flowers, which also adorn the horses. A procession of women and girls carrying white parasols follows the float. This image was taken from above street level. The number 1312-4 is written on a label that has been stuck to the lower left corner of the slide.
